    Big props to cinematographer Gregg Toland. I believe Citizen Kane is a great film due to his indispensable creative contributions.

      Welles shares his title card in the credits with Toland. That right there tells me the film wouldn’t be the same without Toland.

      Welles would agree. Also Percy Rodriguez, the propmaster -- forgive me if I get the name wrong.

      I couldn't agree more, FWIW. Gregg Toland's camera work is dazzling and endlessly inventive. Every scene, every still is a masterpiece, perfectly composed.

    Ebert is doing what he did best--sharing his synopsis and diagnosis for what's widely considered to be the greatest thing anyone ever put on film. And all anyone her is doing is quite simply, spitting venom and pissing acid on the grave of this esteemed film critic who is now long dead.
    What is wrong with all of you? He's discussing on the most vital contributions to cinema there is... and all you haters and never-wills out there are just bitterly talking about how Ebert never himself had a career penning scripts with the same success of David Mamet or Quentin Tarantino.
    A little respect for Welles... and maybe for Ebert, too... and cinema. Jesus...

      giving your opinion is just that...it is not compelled by anyone else no matter how great they are. It's a good movie..but it's not great...the acting is not great, the story is not top notch either...but since all the great critics agree, then I guess i have to agree? Sorry...I don't. And it brings no disrespect to Ebert or Welles. Both greats, no doubt about it.
